How to set CPU Offset Voltage Mode?

Hi guys, I was just wondering how to use this nice feature for Overclocking.

I've been using for 4 months now my OC profile with fixed voltage but I would like to keep my CPU for my futur Home Server when I update my PC in 2-3 years time.

 

My current info:

-OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit Build 10586

-Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3

-CPU: I7 4790K @ 4,7 GHz at 1,204 V

 

So correct me if I'm wrong: This method would be trying my current OC (4,7 GHz) and setting first my CPU Voltage to "Auto" and then just let's say try Cinebench and see what the maximum voltage goes up to? (I'm not trying Prime95 as all my softwares require a lot less, for example at 4,7 GHz the overclocking is stable for more than 3 hours of gameplay and more than 1 hour video editing 4K, never needed more than an hour for 100% CPU intensive tasks due to the beast speed and the beas CPU, it just does everything in less than 1 hour, even 4K rendering).

 

That would be the first step? Then just see how much it climbed and add an offset to reduce tha maximum voltage to my actual voltage?

 

An example, let's say for this case my CPU at iddle runs 0,700 V and at 1,350 V at load (4,7 GHz), and I want to keep the load Voltage at 1,205 or 1,210 V, the answer would be to let tha voltage on auto and add an offset of 1,350-1,205= -0,145 Volts?? Am I wrong? Sorry I'm a little bit lost here, I just want my CPU to run at load times at 1,205 Volts and 0,700 Volts at iddle times.
